Dal-Italia Delicatessen is the creation of chef Fabio of Fabio’s Ristorante.
Established in 2020 during lockdown as a small “pasta-fabbrica,” it quickly grew into an authentic Italian deli and sidewalk café.
From authentic pantry essentials to ready-made fresh and frozen meals, the deli brings the flavours of Italy to your table. Vegan and gluten-free options ensure there’s something for everyone.
Dal-Italia is a place to discover authentic flavours, enjoy a light meal or espresso, and soak up a little taste of Italy in Hermanus.
Dal-Italia Delicatessen always has something new on the shelves, so do the Continental thing and stop by each day to see what’s fresh and tempting.
Fresh, dried and frozen - vegan and gluten-free options are available.
Homemade, using the finest organic ingredients.
Freshly baked and delivered to the deli first thing in the morning.
Healthy organic ingredients are the secret to the premium-quality cheese sold at the deli.
Cured, fresh and frozen meat products of the highest quality and grades are available.
A selection of imported products for the pantry and for gifting.
Fabio invites you to sit down for snacks and light lunches at Dal-Italia Delicatessen.
Created by Fabio and his daughter Carmen, the deli dining menu and seasonal blackboard specials are updated according to availability.
Typically, the menu looks a little something like this:
Tasty snacks ordered either as a starter or paired with a bottle of your favourite vino, “Aaah, Perfetto!”
Fresh pasta is made in the deli, and if you time your visit, you can watch it being made from scratch.
Dal-Italia Delicatessen makes mealtimes easy with its takeaway menu featuring a selection of cooked and frozen meals.
The menu includes:
Dal-Italia Delicatessen is open on Friday nights for dinner.
The deli’s indoor and outdoor seating offers the best of both worlds. Downstairs brings a lively deli vibe, upstairs is a bit more traditional, and the courtyard is perfect for a relaxed alfresco experience.
Fabio’s special chef’s menu features both new favourites and classics, along with activities such as wine-tasting experiences.
Booking is advisable, especially for larger tables.
